Thursday Afternoon Baseball Pick

Rained out yesterday.

Today, I like the Washington Nationals (-122)

The Nats start righty J.D. Martin. The Astros bat a NL-worst .229 against right handed pitchers. The Astros also bat a NL-worst .227 during day games. Martin has made only 1 start this season. He lost to the Padres but his ERA is only 1.50 and his BAA is .174.

Meanwhile, the Astros start Brian Moehler. He is 0-2 with a 7.29 ERA and a .364 BAA. As a starter this year his ERA is 26.97.

I'll take my chances with Washington today.

Good Luck!

Saturday action.

Today's pick is the Washington Nationals & Florida Marlins OVER 9.5 -123.

These two teams have been going over all year long, but the last two have went under the number by half a run but that will end as the trend of overs continues tonight. The OVER is 11-4-1 in the last 15 meetings and has gone over in 21 of Florida's last 27 games as a favorite. Sanchez had a good outing vs Washington last week, but with the Nationals seeing him twice in such a short span, it is to their advantage. Sanchez does throw a lot of pitches and walks guys at a high enough rate that it puts himself in situations where he rarely gets past the 5th inning. Florida's bullpen has an ERA of 7.53 and a group Washington has had success against.

Washington is hitting .282 vs lefties their last 10 and should get some runs tonight vs Sanchez. However, it probably won't be enough as the hot Marlins lost last night and that won't sit well with this team that is hitting .290 vs righties their last 10. They face a virtual unknown in Estrada who is a journeymen minor leaguer with a career ERA of 7.82. Florida should get to him quite easily being as hungry and hot as they are then they too get to feast on a Washington bullpen with a 6.10 ERA. Florida has averaged 6.7 runs per game their last 10 and if they continue that tonight, we should get our over.

A total for Florida

Our winning streak is still alive as we motor along. Today, we will attempt to cash in on a total.

When the Washington Nationals have met the Florida Marlins this season, the Over has come in 5 out of the 6 times. Olsen has an ERA of 7.24 while Nolasco has an ERA of 6.42 Granted Nolasco has been pitching very well of late, the Marlins may be able to cover the total on their own tonight.

Today's play is the Washington Nationals - Florida Marlins Over 9 (-120).

Tuesday in Washington

The Colorado Rockies came through for us. Let's continue today with the Boston Red Sox. Boston has won its last 4 series, and are 13-5 so far this month! In June, the Red Sox have a combined ERA of 3.24, while starting pitcher tonight, Brad Penny hasn't given up a run in his last two appearances. The Washington Nationals have been playing better of late, but are still only 5-5 in their last 10 games, and should be no match for the Red Sox. Today's pick is the Boston Red Sox (-128).
